Oh, it's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is almost here and with it lots of fun and joy. The smell of pine from a gorgeously decorated tree, the construction of small houses made of candy and cookie for the Gingerbread man, trying to figure out if Santa is going to like sugar or chocolate chip better this year....there is so much fun that Christmas brings!

It also means school is out and the kids will need to be constantly entertained. Whether you're looking for ways to stay sane, or you're just looking to get the most out of this festive time of year, this Winter bucket list is a MUST this holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We have had so much to be thankful for this year and are so grateful for the amazing staff, clients, friends, and family we all have. Thanksgiving is a perfect time to look back and reflect on everything you have to be grateful for.

Thanksgiving is known for it's traditional staples. You have the turkey, your stuffing, the cranberry sauce, and the green bean casserole. While all of this is amazing, as all food signature to a holiday devoted to eating should be, there's not much room for creativity. Add some fun to your tradition this year!

Thanksgiving is all about traditions. Waking up to watch the Macy's Day Parade, Grandpa carving the turkey, the green bean casserole you make once a year, the plethora of desserts you can't wait for even though you've just sworn you can't take another bite... it is a holiday based off of tradition.

What many people love the most about Thanksgiving: it is a holiday devoted to good food-and eating-a lot of it. This being said, that makes your dining table the focus of the whole event. Dress your place settings up by adding fun place cards for all your family and friends.

It is no secret that 2013 is approaching-and fast. While wedding planning can be crazy enough (which is why we recommend hiring a fabulous planner!), what would be a more perfect bridesmaids gift then an adorable agenda to help them keep track of your planning?!?

Well Halloween may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean the fun has to go with it! A couple of year's ago comedian Jimmy Kimmel asked parents to tell their kids that they ate all of their Halloween candy when they woke up the morning after. We cannot stop laughing!

We don't know too many kids that would let this crime go so easily...

So all you sneaky moms, how do you think your kids would react if you told them you ate all of their Halloween candy?

Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! Ahh it's that night of the year where all of the witches and wizards, Ninja turtles, Disney princesses, and army men join forces to scour the neighborhood for all the best candy hotspots.

While it's adorable to watch all the kids running from house to house in this year's costume, we want everyone to have a safe and fun holiday while they're out!

As Halloween party season is in full-swing, it's always fun to find things that set your haunted holiday fest apart from the rest! This fun cocktail featured by Jeanne Benedict during her appearance on The Today Show is sure to be a winner among all of your guests!

Everybody knows trick-or-treating is a Halloween staple. Contests about who got the most candy, trading the pieces you don't like for that coveted chocolate bar your brother got, and sneaking pieces behind mom and dad's backs are all things to look forward to after the neighborhood conquest.

Pillow cases and the plastic pumpkin buckets may work just fine, but how much more fun would your collection of candy be in the these personalized Halloween buckets you can find on Etsy?!?

What candy did you most look forward to getting during your trick-or-treating adventures??

On a gorgeous day in May Sugirtha and Julian said their "I do's" and became husband and wife. During a traditional Indian wedding, the couple married at the altar at Queen of Peace in Gainesville, Florida.

The bride was a vision in all white.

A groom that can't hide his excitement is the best sight to walk towards down the aisle!

After they were pronounced man and wife Sugirtha was surrounded by friends and family who helped her transform into a vision in white into her ornate traditional Indian attire for the reception.

Approximately 80 guests attended a colorful reception at Plantation Hall in Haile Plantation to celebrate with Sugirtha and Juilan!

The bride and groom sat in a custom designed mandap to share their first moments as husband and wife together and it also created a gorgeous backdrop for their cake cutting.

We are so excited to share in Sugirtha and Julian's special day and wish them all the best of luck as Mr. & Mrs. Manohar!

Fall is in the air, bringing that magical time of year where the air is crisp and cool and the leaves ring in magical change!

Fall is also a time filled with lots of family get-togethers. The kids are coming home from school, in-laws come into town for Thanksgiving, and time at the table is abundant. We're here to offer you some inspiration for your next sit down at the dinner table! This is a tablescape we did for Gainesville Magazine's October/November issue a couple years back.

Thank god it's Friday! We are ready for another exciting weekend here at Keith Watson Events and hope you all have something fun planned to relax after this week!

The weekends are prime time for getting together with friends and almost always reserved for times to get married. This favor is the perfect finishing touch to any party or wedding! How great are these personalized coozies?!?

Some things come together to create perfect harmony- chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers are one such combination. No Fall season, bonfire, or camping experience is complete without the ooey, sticky, goodness of a freshly roasted s'more. With that in mind, these favors are the perfect take away for your guests for your wedding or party this Fall.

There are few things more warming than the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the mornings. It makes waking up early Monday morning for work a little more bearable, it makes snuggling up on the couch to read your book a little more cozy, and it makes catching up with old friends a little warmer.

These coffee bean favors are such a great idea for your caffeine addicted friends or to help keep the memories of your special day awake in all of your guests!

Are you ready for some football?? Oh, yes, tonight is Monday night football! We all know there are staples to every football party or tailgate. First off-oversized TV to watch the game. Secondly, team spirit, taken to whatever degree you feel is necessary to cheer your team to victory. Lastly, but certainly not least, refreshments and food to keep your energy up all throughout the game!

While chips and dip is a pretty standard player in any tailgate, we love these ideas to elevate your tailgate even further up the field!

When you find "the one," you have found the person with whom you are going to spend the rest of your life with-you can't imagine life without them. You go together like peanut butter and jelly, like popcorn and a movie, like s'mores and a campfire. Whatever it is that relates to your relationship, you know you two are the perfect fit.

Favorite meal of the day....go (and yes, dessert can be considered a meal)! While you may prefer a nice steak dinner with all the fixings, there is one meal that is said to be the most important- breakfast. Sometimes, however, breakfast time comes just a little too early in the morning to enjoy. For this reason, whoever created brunch, was brilliant!

How delicious would this be for your next party as opposed to the standard dinner extravaganza?!?
